ASSEMBLY INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
• Drain the differential gear oil before inspection and adjustment. Refer to
DLN-244.
• Remove and install the carrier cover as necessary for inspection and adjustment. Refer to DLN-249
.
Total Preload Torque
1. Remove the side flanges if necessary. Refer to DLN-247, "Removal and Installation".
CAUTION:
The side flanges must removed in or der to measure total preload torque.
2. Rotate the drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise and rotation malfunction.
3. Rotate the drive pinion at least 20 times to check for smooth operation of the bearings.
4. Measure the total preload torque using Tool.
NOTE:
Total preload torque = Drive pinion bearing preload torque +
Side bearing preload torque
• If the measured value is out of the specification, check and adjust each part. Adjust the drive pinion
bearing preload torque first, then adjust the side bearing preload torque.
CAUTION:
Select a side bearing adjusting wash er for right and left individually.

If the total preload torque is greater than specification
On drive pinion bearings: Replace the collapsible spacer.
On side bearings: Use thinner side b earing adjusting washers by the same
amount on each side. Refer to DLN-270, "
Inspection and Adjust-
ment".
If the total preload torque is less than specification On drive pinion bearings: Tighten the drive pinion lock nut.
On side bearings: Use thicker side b earing adjusting washers by the same
amount on each side. Refer to DLN-270, "

1. Fit a dial indicator to the drive gear back face.
2. Rotate the drive gear to measure runout.
• If the runout is outside of the limit, check the condition of the drive gear assembly. Foreign material may be caught between the drive
gear and differential case, or the differential case or drive gear may
be deformed.
CAUTION:
Replace drive gear and drive pinion as a set.
Tooth Contact
1. Apply red lead to the drive gear. NOTE:
Apply red lead to both faces of thr ee to four gears, at four loca-
tions evenly spaced on the drive gear.
2. Rotate the drive gear back and forth several times. Then check for correct drive pinion to drive gear tooth contact as shown.
CAUTION:
Check tooth contact on drive side and reverse side.
3. If the tooth contact is improperly adjusted, follow the procedure below to adjust the pinion height (dimension X).Runout limit : Refer to

• If the tooth contact is near the face (face contact), or near the heel
(heel contact), use a thicker drive pinion height adjusting washers
to move the drive pinion closer to the drive gear.
Refer to DLN-270, "
Inspection and Adjustment".
• If the tooth contact is near the flank (flank contact), or near the toe (toe contact), use a thinner drive pinion height adjusting washers to
move the drive pinion farther from the drive gear.
Refer to DLN-270, "
Inspection and Adjustment".
Backlash
1. Fit a dial indicator to the drive gear face to measure the back- lash.
• If the backlash is outside of the specification, change the thickness of the side bearing adjusting washers.
CAUTION:
Do not change the total thickness of side bearing adjusting washers as it will change the side bearing
preload torque.

Backlash : Refer to DLN-270, "Inspection and
Adjustment"
If the backlash is greater than specification:
Make side bearing adjusting washer thicker on drive
gear back side, and side bearing adjusting washer
thinner on drive gear tooth side by the same amount.
Refer to DLN-270, "
Inspection and Adjustment".
If the backlash is less than specification: Make side bearing adjusting washer thinner on drive
gear back side, and side bearing adjusting washer
thicker on drive gear tooth side by the same amount.
Refer to DLN-270, "

5. Press the drive pinion assembly (with rear inner bearing race and collapsible spacer) out of the gear carrier.
CAUTION:
Do not drop drive pinion assembly.
6. Remove the front oil seal. CAUTION:
Do not damage gear carrier.
7. Remove the drive pinion front bearing inner race.
8. Remove the drive pinion rear bearing inner race and drive pinion height adjusting washer using Tool.
9. Remove the drive pinion front and rear bearing outer races by tapping them uniformly using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
Do not damage gear carrier.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Clean the disassembled parts. Then inspect the parts fo r wear or damage. If wear or damage are found, follow
the measures below.
Drive Pinion and Drive Gear
• If the drive pinion and drive gear teeth do not mesh or line-up correctly, determine the cause and adjust, repair, or replace as necessary.
• If the drive pinion or drive gear are worn, crack ed, damaged, pitted or chipped (by friction) noticeably,
replace with new drive pinion and drive gear.
• Drive pinion and drive gear are supplied in matched sets only. Matching numbers on both drive pinion and
drive gear are etched for verification. If a new drive pinion and drive gear set are being used, verify the num-
bers of each drive pinion and drive gear before proceeding with assembly.
Bearing
• If bearings are chipped (by friction), pitted, worn, rusted, scratched, or unusual noise is coming from bearing,replace with new bearing assembly (as a new set).
• Bearing must be replaced with a new one whenever disassembled.
Side Gear and Pinion Mate Gear
• If any cracks or damage are found on the surface of the teeth, replace with new one.
• If any worn or chipped marks are found on the side of the side gear and pinion mate gear which contact the thrust washer, replace with new one.
• Replace both side gear and pinion mate gear as a set when replacing side gear or pinion mate gear.
Side Gear Thrust Washer and Pinion Mate Thrust Washer
• If any chips (by friction), damage, or unus ual wear are found, replace with new one.

7. If the pulling force is outside the specification, use a thicker or
thinner side bearing adjusting washer to adjust. Refer to DLN-
270, "Inspection and Adjustment".
CAUTION:
Select a side bearing adjust ing washer for right and left
individually.
8. Record the total amount of washer thickness required for the correct side bearing preload torque.
ASSEMBLY
Drive Pinion Assembly
1. Install the drive pinion front and rear bearing outer races using Tools.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drive pinion fron t and rear bearing outer race.
2. Select a drive pinion height adjusting washer. Refer to DLN-270, "
Inspection and Adjustment".
3. Install the selected drive pinion height adjusting washer to the drive pinion. Press the drive pinion rear bearing inner race to it
using Tool.
CAUTION:
• Install the drive pinion hei ght adjusting washer in the
proper direction as shown.
• Do not reuse drive pinion rear bearing inner race. If the pulling force is
less than the specification:
Use a thicker side bear ing adjusting washer.
If the pulling force is gr eater than the specification:
Use a thinner side bear ing adjusting washer.
